Another human flesh eating incident

Another day, another anthropophagy incident: this time another Florida (of course) man chewed on another's tasty arm meat.

[26-year-old Charles Baker] was screaming and wouldn’t calm down, then began throwing furniture around the home. Jeffery Blake, who lives in the home, attempted to restrain Baker, but the suspect bit him, taking a chunk of his flesh from his bicep.

Once again, we see the cannibal's inability to calm down:

Baker got up, but would not respond to deputies orders. The suspect instead faced the deputies, tensing his body, clenching his fists and screaming. Baker, still naked, acted like he was going to rush the deputies, according to the report.

Then we see technology applied against the cannibal suspect:

Deputy Wildt deployed his an electronic control device after giving a verbal warning. Baker fell to the ground, and then tried to get back up, so Deputy Wildt deployed the device again. Baker pulled the probes out, so deputy Blake deployed his electric shock device. Those probes were also pulled out, and Deputy Wildt deployed a second cartridge. By this time, several other deputies had arrived on scene and were able to hold him down and handcuff him...

(Was it a taser? If so, why not say so?)
